This one went for almost $700 a few days ago. Looks like a great piece, but unless I'm missing something, the part about it being a Bench helmet appears to be mostly conjecture based on a call from a Reds' museum employee. Hopefully it won't reappear with a numeral "5" markered into the padding or "Bench" dymo-taped to the back.

Re: Post interesting game issued items here

Actually no I believe they do other work for other teams.They just got a contract to do the NY Islanders jerseys this season.The owners name is Russ Gompers a truly classy guy.I took a ride down there and he was nice enough to give me and my wife the tour of the establishment. Here is the link with his contact info Eric and here is the email from the seller of the Franco and he also had a 2000 game issued BP Piazza with the world series patch. www.stitchesny.com

Response about the Franco game issued and Piazza game issued

Dear amazin-mets,
The Franco and Piazza was done by StitchesNY. The rest will be up Sunday. The LJ will have a high starting price around $600 or more, there are a couple of bidders going really high on LJ Hornets jerseys.

Re: Post interesting game issued items here

How do you know this was a blank? Any contact info for Stitches? Do they do only Mets stuff?

Thanks

Re: Post interesting game issued items here

Nice vintage Julius Erving sand knit jersey.

I thought Pearson and Wilson were manufacturers of Sixers pieces-
Did Sand Knit ever make the Sixers jerseys? It does have an exclusive tag.

Re: Post interesting game issued items here

This one I got before it got to be team issued. I got it at the Russell factory outlet the summer of 1984.
It is consistent in every way with a Dolphins game jersey of that era. I am almost 100% positive that Russell's retail jerseys were not this length, and the tagging is consistent with other Dolphin jerseys I have seen (i.e. a letter size and not an number size). Marino did not wear jerseys with stretch side panels during 1984. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
I still remember the day I bought this. They had a whole rack of Dolphin jerseys and some 49er jerseys too.

Re: Post interesting game issued items here

Once again, I'm really glad that I stumbled upon this place as I in just a few weeks have learned mucho information and this thread is just another tool to work from when buying.

As I've stated before, I collected GU items back in the late 80's and through the mid 90's and was able to source my stuff directly the Dodgers, Angels and a few other sources.

I recently got back into it that last couple of years as I've been going to about 30 to 40 games a year and have rekindled the flame and have again found some sources to get the goods.

Nevertheless, I have dipped into the ebay pool and each and every thing I have acquired via that media has been kosher/jake... but that's only because I only am collecting LA Dodgers Items and have a good basis of what is what with them.

However, if I ever decide to step outside of that realm, I know that the knowledge I have gleaned here will save me from giving my $$$ away on fakes and misrepresented goods.

The Wash Tag "Fake" Code is definitely a great tool to be armed with.

However, on the down side, the scammers do read this stuff and will adjust their tools of the trade.

Just an idea:

What about a service that one could send the ebay, or another auction or direct listing for online vetting that would say it is probably correct or not and charge a nominal fee for the service....

The 76ers switched to Sand-Knit for the 1986-87 season - Erving's last. From 1976-77 thru 1985-86, Erving wore Wilson Sixers jerseys.

I'm guessing someone got their hands on a blank Sixers team jersey and customized it. The size is too big for an Erving gamer and they put the wrong style numbers on it

I posted it on another thread...that guy had a number of Sand-Knit hoops jerseys. Some looked to be team issued and some were the retail authentics.
